This aritcle describes how a science teacher uses nature for science. I think this is a great idea for science because most people think that journaling is just for English classes. The teacher takes the students outside to observe nature and then write. The teacher takes the students ideas of nature and incorporates that into writing. This gives students a chance to appreciate nature and their outside surroundings. An important aspect of this article is that this type of journaling completes the common core for other subjects such as English and social studies.
